- FOREVER YOUNG: PETE DUEL
- by Roma Wheaton
- Forever Young
(book), date unknown
- Success came easily to Peter Deuel (he
later dropped the first e in his surname to avoid confusion),
a dark-haired handsome young man with an engaging personality.
In the mid sixties he could be found in nearly every successful
American television series. For a short time he even had his
own sitcom, Love on a Rooftop. He cared passionately about
every aspect of his life; his work and the quality of it, the
world we live in and the way we abuse it. An ardent campaigner
for political rights, he was a perfectionist, always striving
for a better world. In 1971 he was again the co-star of an entertaining
and popular TV series, playing Hannibal Heyes in the Western
Alias Smith and Jones. But one night he put a .38 calibre
gun to his head and killed himself. Life had not measured up
to his standards.
